DescriptionThe whole story▼
The R 1300 GS silencer takes its end cap in two halves. This is the upper one; V-EC464 is the lower, at exactly the same price. Ordering one and not the other leaves half a silencer looking new.
Key Features
- Upper carbon end cap for the BMW R 1300 GS silencer
- Model years 2023 to 2026
- Sold singly — the lower half is article V-EC464
- An OEM BMW part from Akrapovic's factory-supply side
- Carbon fibre, as stated by Akrapovic
Two halves, two numbers
Akrapovic splits several R 1300 GS parts into upper and lower articles: the end caps V-EC463 and V-EC464 and the heat shields P-HSB13SO2U and P-HSB13SO2D. In each pair the two halves carry the same price and different numbers.
It is easy to order one of a pair by accident. If the intention is to renew the visible end of the silencer, both caps are needed.
Where it belongs
The R 1300 GS is new enough that the Akrapovic range for it is still filling out. This shop carries the Slip-On Line in titanium and in black titanium for the same bike, the optional header, the carbon heat shield P-HSB13SO1, the protection bar set and the adventure footpegs. The end caps are the service parts alongside those.
What is not published
Akrapovic gives no description, no photograph and no fitting instruction for this cap. The number, the material, the position, the motorcycle and the years are from the current price file; nothing else on this page is asserted.
